On July 2, 2022 , Chase was involved in a horrific car accident. His injuries are extensive. His wonderful family is with him 24/7. He is currently in ICU at St Lukes I’m Duluth. He has a a long road ahead of him, but this kid is a fighter. Travel expenses, loss of work, and medical expenses will add up quickly. Please donate if you are able.

Update 7/4: The hospitalist & critical care team have decided it's best to keep Chase sedated & on the ventilator for today so we don't risk a repeat of yesterday. On his way to CT yesterday he started convulsing. The seizure went non-stop for almost 2 hours straight. He then had an anaphylactic allergic reaction to a medication they used to try to stop the seizure. We have also learned that the other people involved in the accident will be ok! Mostly broken bones & should be released from hospitals in a day or 2. We are so thankful for this news as it was weighing heavily on all of us but especially Chase. The sheriff's deputy said that was the thing Chase kept asking- "are the other people ok?". He has such a big heart❤️

They are still looking at the possibility of transferring him to Mayo.

Update 7/3/22 2pm: Due to complications Chase is now medically sedated and has been intubated & on a ventilator. His medical team is consulting with Mayo & he may be transferred out. Thank you so much for the love & support
